Most of the day, I can flip between camera types (XT3's for video duty and XH1 & X100F stills) but there are times when I need to both at the same time such as entrances and exits, confetti tunnels etc. I used to stick the Action on top of the XT3 on a monopod so when they got too close for the 50mm prime, the wider angle action camera captured the last few feet of their walk. I also use it to follow trays of canapes or plates of food in motion where anything bigger is a pain in the wotsits. I also shoot band/dancing footage and for first dance especially, it's my wide. I'm not that creative with it and it's more filling a hole but in a limited way. Same as the drone, - just a very small part of the day, especially as the footage of both is not in the same league as that from the XT3. I tried the Pocket previously. Wasn't for me. Better low light but for my needs, the Action works better. That makes sense, thanks. I'm always interested in wedding photography / videography as it's often a single-shooter making a polished product by getting coverage and variety of an event that is unpredictable and on which they have very low degrees of control over, which is relatively similar to how I shoot. I mention lots of times that I have a problem with X and people suggest that I hire a sound guy with a boom mic or carry a lighting rig or just get people to do something again, but wedding photogs understand that not everything is a controlled movie set and that people sometimes shoot in situations where those things aren't an option and so we have to work around these limitations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the entire region is just a few feet above sea level and the annual high tides (Sept-Oct) are becoming more and more problematic with water rising. It's called sunny day flooding...

For better context of your full setup, I think you need someone else to take a photo of you taking a photo with your 3rd camera of your other two cameras. kye and ntblowz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntblowz Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Used this combo for a TVNZ job recently.. I tried cage stuff before but found it wasn't for me, I prefer minimalist setup. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
